My goal for this WebQuest is that it will serve two purposes. First, to provide my 5th graders experience with the criteria used to evaluate websites and second, to provide a list of Missions' resources to use for a California Missions Resource Website.

The impetus for this idea was that so many of the websites about the Missions have good information but they do not list the sources used. I felt, since we are one of the few schools blessed with the opportunity to be at a Mission, that we should use our skills and experiences to create a website that could be used as a comprehensive resource for fourth grade teachers and students. The site is currently a work in process and I hope to have it finished by Spring of 2006.
